ALICE Advocate - April 2, 2026 Edition

Last week we joined advocates, families, providers, and legislators at the Capitol to advance solutions to Connecticut’s affordability crisis.


We called for funding for the Endowment, eliminating the Care 4 Kids waitlist, and a Child Tax Credit for 550,000 children. Our Food Farmacy was also featured as a model for food as medicine in action.


Grateful to stand alongside partners and legislative champions moving these priorities forward.

No-Cost School Meals for All – Hearing: Monday, February 23 

School Meals for All has been a major focus this legislative session, with strong bipartisan support for expanding access. 

The Education Committee will hear HB 5214, which provides free breakfast for all students and free lunch for students eligible for reduced-price meals — a key step toward universal, no-cost school meals.
